With reference to C.16/C.27.3.35, the cost of doing Lappin's car, which is a standardised Bentley Saloon, was 100 hours labour and £5 material. It will be appreciated that this was a one off job, and the material was bought in small quantities. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
